Debating a dedicated Beckerhead...
On another message board there's a guy who is a die-hard "Glenn Beck can do no wrong" guy.

This is his latest screed, he's "EH."


RS>>> Glenn Beck's TV show is on at the same time as Oprah's.

EH>> It is? Too bad for Opra, then.

RS>>> Which show gets far better ratings in that time slot?

EH>> Beck gets the highest ratings in his time slot.

RS> Lie.

RS> A new Harris Poll shows Ms. Winfrey on top as America's favorite TV
RS> personality.

Their shows are completely different. There is no comparison between the two.

RS> Debuting on the list in second place is Fox News commentator Glenn Beck.

First place in his category.

RS> http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/01/25/2010-01-25
RS>
_oprah_glenn_beck_are_americas_favorite_tv_personalities_poll_.html#ixzz12U
RS> hAA6pa

RS> Besides, Oprah wasn't a dope addict.

The operative word is *WAS*! Beck has been clean for years now. If he
agreed with you, you'd not mention his past once.

RS>>> BTW, Byron Williams, the nutcase who wanted to shoot everyone at
EH>> the RS> Tides Foundation and the ACLU had as his guru, Glenn Beck.

EH>> So what? The uni-bomber was a disciple of Al Gore and considered
EH>> Gore's "Earth in the Balance" his bible.

RS> The Uni-bomber was an anrachist who wanted to destroy everything that had
RS> to do with technology.

Uh... no, he was an environmental extremist.

RS> Glenn Beck creates out of thin air his "conspiracies' like the Tides
RS> Foundation and ACLU.

No, he doesn't. He uses facts and then tells his audience to research
for themselves to verify his claims.

RS>>> Glenn Beck also wanted to put rat poison into Nancy Pelosi's
EH>> drink.

EH>> No, he did not.

RS> Fox News host Glenn Beck joked on the air Thursday about poisoning House
RS> Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), drawing a sharp rebuke from a liberal
RS> media watchdog group.

A joke is not the same as "wanting to put rat poison" in her drink. The
joke may be off color, but it is not the same as advocating such action.

RS> Riffing off a POLITICO report on Pelosi's upcoming Napa Valley event for
RS> big-dollar donors and other supporters, Beck did a sketch Thursday
in which
RS> he pretended to be at the event, drinking wine with the speaker.

RS> As a staffer wearing a Pelosi mask lifted a glass to her lips, Beck said:

RS> "I really just really wanted to thank you having me over here to Wine
RS> Country, you know. To be invited, I thought I had to be a major Democratic
RS> donor, or a longtime friend of yours, which I'm not. By the way, I put
RS> poison in your -- no ..."

A sketch... a joke...

RS> http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/25906.html

Politico is a left-wing propaganda machine.

RS>>> Nmae *JUST* *ONCE* Olbermann or Maddow said anything remotely
EH>> like that. RS> Easy answer: You can't.

EH>> They continuously attack anyone on the right. In fact, that's all they
EH>> do - talk about other people.

RS> They attack the lies from the right-wing.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Only a useful moonbat would make such a claim.

RS> That's what pisses you off so much.

Uh... no... I couldn't care less what they say or do.

RS>>> Beck also quoted from a book written by Elizabeth Dilling, who
EH>> was a RS> vicious racist, anti-Semite and Nazi Germany sympathizer.

EH>> So what? Planned Parenthood was started by a vicious racist,
EH>> anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer.

RS> Planned Parenthood dropped those views.

Really? Are you sure?

RS> Glenn Beck still embraces them.

That is a lie.

RS>>> Beck alos quoted from the author Eustace Mullins, who said our
EH>> money RS> problems were caused by "the Jew conspiracy."

EH>> That isn't what Beck quoted.

RS>>> Beck also regurgitated the "Jew conspiracy" story from the then-
RS>>> Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir.

EH>> No, he did not.

RS>>> And when called out on those smears, he blames "the liberal
EH>> media."

EH>> Who called him on it? Soros' goon David Brock?

RS> Soros scares the living shit out fo you.

Soros plays you like a violin.

(End of post)

The worst part is this guy votes.

2. You should have
Edited on Sat Oct-16-10 04:04 PM by Ramulux
focused on one thing at a time and not let him change the subject. You owned him on like 10 different points that he never responds to, so you shouldn't have let him change the subject and keep hammering him on each individual point. There is NO excuse for making a joke about poisoning the speaker, you literally should have just said that over and over and asked him to tell you which commentators on the left have ever said anything as fucked up as that and force him to answer the question.

Also, in regards to the Planned Parenthood thing, hes talking about Margaret Sanger right?
